In this chapter, most examples and problems involved direct current (DC). DC circuits have the current flowing in one direction, from positive to negative. When the current was changing, it was changed linearly from I=ImaxtoI=+Imax and the voltage changed linearly from V=Vmax to V=+Vmax where Vmax=ImaxR .Suppose a voltage source is placed in series with a resistor of R = 10 that supplied a current that alternated as a sine wave, for example, I(t)=(3.00A)sin(24.00st) . (a) What would a graph of the voltage drop across the resistor V(t) versus time look like? (b) What would a plot of V(t) versus I(t) for one period look like? (Hint: If you are not sure, try plotting V(t) versus I(t) using a spreadsheet.)

The capacitor in the circuit shown below is initially uncharged. The switch is closed at t = 0 s. AVbattery = 24 V, C = 3.0 μF, and R = 2.0 Q. At sometime after the switch is closed, the voltage across the resistor is measured to be 16 V. What is the charge on the capacitor at this time, in µC? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
